as it should!

that is such a perfect example of how they torched their brand with their core demographic. it's honestly shocking.

YUP. I used to go out of my way to shop at Target (Walmart is closer), and the only time I've been to Target since their shenanigans is when someone gave my husband a gift card and we needed to use it.

he could certainly do an entire album about bog mummies akin to Heaney's poems on the same subject, and it would be amazing.

In class today, I argued that Seamus Heaney's "Punishment" sounds like a Hozier song, and I absolutely stand by that.

truer words have never been spoken. I have no idea what reading I'm on of You, Me, & the Conspiracy, but it simply must be close to #30.

The footnote about the letters. It says that a large part of the Byron correspondence was published in the life and works published in 1830

So I have an early 20th century edition of Byron, and I took a photo of a long footnote re the letters publication history. I wonder if you could find the 1830 Byron biography online (Project Gutenberg?) and see what's in it

Indeed. if recruiters mentioned overseas deployments, it was to Germany or Japan, and it was fun and sexy and SAFE. alas, reality is a jerk.

I grew up in Montana in the 90s, and it was how kids who didn't want to/couldn't go to college escaped their families' farms and ranches. I'm certain many of them were extremely shocked to find themselves in Iraq and Afghanistan since the potential for deployment/combat wasn't part of the pitch.

Tonight's movie night choice was Network. No, not for any particular reason, no. Why do you ask?

that is indeed the one! but yes, it really could be like 50 other things too.
